Jacob von Eggers

... that around the age of four, Jacob von Eggers (pictured) was deported to Arkhangelsk in Russia together with the entire German-speaking population of Tartu? Source: In Hohrath, 1999 (in German): "Als im Frühjar 1708 die deutschsprachige Bürgerschaft Dorpats deportiert wurde, gelangte der Dreijåhrige mit seiner Mutter nach Archangelsk". Note that other sources claim he was four, or around four, so I've written "around four".

Article is new, and long enough. No copyvio issues in English language. The hook is interesting, and cited in a reliable source. The author has recently completed a QPQ review. Nice job! Chaiten1 (talk) 21:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
